Being a sustainable atteende

Sustainability starts with small choices. Here’s how you can contribute:

Sustainability guidelines

Sustainable Travel & Accommodation

Opt for lower-carbon travel such as trains, public transport, or carpooling. Choose eco-friendly hotels with strong environmental policies, with assistance from our partner⁠ bnetwork.

Waste reduction

Recycle responsibly at the venue and your hotel. Minimize food waste by only taking what you'll eat. Bring a refillable water bottle to use at onsite refill stations.

Eco-Friendly Choices

Consider vegetarian or vegan meal options. Be mindful of giveaways by taking only what you'll use and opting for digital versions when possible. Use the event app to reduce paper waste.

Waste Reduction & Donations

Donate excess food to Banques Alimentaires and minimize overall waste through responsible disposal and sustainable choices.

Sustainability Messaging
